Soft velvet and rich burgundy give the Intermezzo Idris an elegant studio look. Curved velvet side panels frame the waist, while short sleeves and a wide boat neckline keep the shape beautifully simple. A soft Meryl body and full front lining make this ballet leotard a comfortable choice for class and rehearsal.

Best For: Ballet classes • Rehearsals • Dancers who prefer short sleeves • Opaque coverage with velvet detail

Why You’ll Love the Intermezzo Idris Ballet Leotard

• Curved velvet panels: Sweep towards the waist to create a softly defined, flattering shape.
• Classical boat necklines: A wide front neckline frames the collarbones, with a lower boat neckline opening the upper back.
• Short sleeves: Gently frame the shoulders while leaving the elbows and lower arms free.
• Soft velvet edging: Matching trim finishes the necklines and sleeve edges.
• Comfortable front lining: Full front soft lining adds coverage beneath the Meryl stretch body, with opaque fabrics throughout and no sheer panels.

Intermezzo Idris – Ballet Styling & Fit

Part of the Intermezzo Velour Collection, Idris pairs beautifully with pale pink ballet tights or a simple black skirt. Keep your layers understated to let the burgundy colour and velvet texture stand out.

Fit advice: Generally true to size with a close, body-hugging fit. Follow the Intermezzo size chart and check for comfortable movement through the shoulders and torso.

• Main body: Meryl • 92% polyamide, 8% elastane.
• Side panels and trim: Velvet.
• Lining: Full front soft lining

The Meryl percentages apply to the main body fabric and should not be applied to the velvet or lining.

Generally true to size. Follow the Intermezzo size chart, comparing your bust/chest, waist, hips and girth with the brand’s measurements.

Idris should sit close to the body, with the boat neckline resting smoothly and the short sleeves fitting comfortably around the upper arms. Give particular attention to girth so the torso has the right length.

When checking the fit, raise your arms through port de bras and gently bend sideways. The neckline, underarms and side panels should remain comfortable without pulling. The velvet panels create a visual shaping effect; choose your size using the chart.

Follow the garment label first. To protect the velvet panels and trim, our gentle-care recommendation is:

Hand wash cold with a mild detergent.
Wash with similar colours and avoid prolonged soaking.
Handle the velvet gently; avoid rubbing or scrubbing the pile.
Avoid bleach, fabric softener, twisting and wringing.
